Hits and misses on the Tory target list at the 2010 General Election

During the course of election night we will keep track of the progress of our candidates in target seats (based on the notional figures for the new boundaries compiled by Profs Ralllings and Thrasher at the University of Plymouth which all the media will also be using).

Check back here regularly during the course of the night to see the hits and misses on the Tory targets.

The seats are divided into several categories:

Seats currently held by Labour

Seats currently held by the Lib Dems

Seats currently held by Others

Seats which are now notionally deemed to be held by Labour which need to be gained back by the existing Conservative MPs

Seats gained at by-elections which were won by Labour in 2005

Seats which are now notionally deemed to be Conservative but were held by Labour/Lib Dems on the old boundaries

Seats where a new candidate is standing in a notionally Conservative seat or where a sitting MP retired

Seats lost by the Conservatives

In each category the seats are listed in order of where they appear in the list of top 200 targets (any gains from outside that list will of course be added), along with the name of the Conservative candidate. Once the result is declared, the text will go blue if the Conservative is elected, red if Labour win the seat etc.
